The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the attempted escape of an inmate from the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas - one who was trying to leave so fast, he left his jail-issued sandals clinging from the fence.

The failed attempt, first reported by NBC Bay Area, happened Sunday afternoon, according to Santa Clara County Sheriff's Sgt. James Jensen. Newly installed video cameras helped a deputy spot the inmate, identified as Christopher Boscacci, climbing and then falling from the "candy cane" fencing.
